Circle Theatre

We just celebrated our 40th anniversary last season!

We are excited to see where the next forty years take us!

We engage individuals of all abilities in creative opportunities on and off stage. Our vision is to demonstrate to our greater community the value of including individuals of all abilities and all ages in the theater and arts community, providing a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem to all participants.

We hold auditions and rehearsals at Hanscom Park United Methodist Church and encourage individuals of all abilities and ages to try out for our productions. The Alan J. Levine Performing Arts Center at the Omaha Jewish Community Center is the home for our 2024-25 mainstage season performances.  

Throughout the year, we also provide theatre workshops and mentorship opportunities to immerse participants into the creative arts experience. These workshops include: playwriting, acting, directing, costume design, stage management, set design, props and more. We partner with several local community organizations including Munroe Meyer Institute, VODEC,  Quality Living, Inc (QLI), Wonderfully Made, Gotta Be Me, Ollie Webb Center, the Institute for Holocaust Education, the Jewish Federation of Omaha, and a number of metro-area public school Alternative Classroom Placement programs and Transition Programs including Omaha Public Schools, Papillion-La Vista Schools, and Millard Public Schools.  

Our next production is "The Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition." We recently held auditions at Hanscom Park United Methodist Church and will be announcing our mainstage cast list before the winter holidays. We will be partnering with several of our community non-profit organizations  and school districts to provide workshops and immersive opportunities to participate in this show. Mark your calendars for two magical performances at the Alan J. Levine Performing Arts Theatre at the J on April 5th and 6th in 2025!
